Terrifying Video Shows Child Danger When Dresser Drawers Topple

By Leave a Comment

This video will scare any parent.

A young boy in Thailand is playing in a living room area when the chest of drawers he is playing with topples toward him while another child looks on.

We’re very happy to report that the child doesn’t appear to be injured as he seems to scramble out of the way just in time, only to be caught by the edge of the furniture before making it away to safety.

Hearing the noise from upstairs, we assume that it’s mom who comes running to his aid.

This is a good lessen for parents to secure top-heavy furniture, TVs and appliances and to keep tempting things off high shelves.

Kids Speak Out About President Trump

By

Since the last Presidential Election we have all heard more than an ear full about Donald Trump becoming President of the United States. I’m willing to bet you’ve heard some good stuff and some not.

However one thing is for sure, everyone has an opinion about it and have no problems sharing that opinion. Something that has always come to mind though, is how do kids feel about it? Do they have honest opinions or are they just repeating what they hear their parent’s saying?

This is kind of a fun video we came across from late night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live. After you watch this, ask your own little ones how they feel about our current President and see if they have their own take on it.

Moms Amazing Response to Son Drawing on the Wall

By

This mom’s response to her son drawing on the wall is amazing, but that’s an understatement. She deserves a mommy of the year award for sure. Instead of yelling at her child, she chose to foster his creative side and build self-esteem at the same time teaching her children a lesson.

When Mom (Kim Massicote) walked into the living room and noticed that her 6 year old son Ryan decided to express his artistic talents by drawing on the living room wall with a marker to teach his 4-year-old brother how to draw a house, she was less than thrilled to say the least. The best part is Kim chose not to get mad, or erase the drawing. Instead she put a small frame on the wall around the drawing with a museum like tag that read: “Interrupted House, 2017. Marker on latex paint. Gifted to his parents, by surprise.” The kids didn’t really get the joke, but they did get the “picture” that drawing on the wall was a big no, no. Her husband Eric took to Twitter with the story. How wonderful that they learned a lesson in such a loving manner. Kudos mom…very well done.

Your Daughter Doesn’t Owe ANYONE A Hug

By

We all know that the Holidays are a very “huggie” time of year. Long lost family friends show up out of nowhere, relatives from out of town visit and it seems like everyone you come across want’s a to give you a holiday hug. It can be rather overwhelming and stressful.

As much as your daughters love Christmas, they may not look forward to all of the hugs and touching that goes along with it – especially from people they don’t know or hardly know. Have you ever forced your daughter to give long lost Uncle Ben a big hug?” Maybe you’ve said “Aunt Cheryl spent a lot of time getting that toy for you. Go give her a big kiss and hug.”  If yes, you might want to seriously think about what you’re doing.

Consider this next time your forcing your daughter into giving someone physical affection. By making your daughter feel like she owes someone a hug for any reason at all is just wrong. It can set the stage for her questioning whether she “owes” another person any type of physical affection later in life. You’re setting her up for inappropriate physical relationships that you in effect will be yelling at her for having as she grows into a young woman. Girl Scouts’ developmental psychologist Dr. Andrea Bastiani Archibald states, “The notion of consent may seem very grown-up and like something that doesn’t pertain to children, but the lessons girls learn when they’re young about setting physical boundaries and expecting them to be respected last a lifetime, and can influence how she feels about herself and her body as she gets older. Plus, sadly, we know that some adults prey on children, and teaching your daughter about consent early on can help her understand her rights, know when lines are being crossed, and when to go to you for help.”
